imeem opening own music store (MacNN)
imeem is gradually building its own music store that may afford it independence from Apple's iTunes or Amazon MP3, an investigation has found. Normally, those buying permanent copies of music from the site must go through an Amazon or iTunes link and buy it off-site; quietly, however, the company has been adding direct-download MP3 purchases of its own for certain artists, such as Iron and Wine. ...

For the most part, nearly every streaming song on the site has a download button which links to both iTunes and the Amazon MP3 store.

CourseCasting for Lecture Downloads

A new trend in college classroom technology enables professors to create podcasts of their lectures for students to download.

Professors at the University of Texas and Texas A&M were among the first to try out podcasting their lectures through a company called Pick-A-Prof. Pick-A-Prof provides online software called CourseCasting, which allows professors to record their lectures and make them available for students to download and listen to on their iPods or computers.

CourseCasting is now available at Baylor through pickaprof.com, according to Marissa Portillo, academic services representative for Pick-A-Prof.

Portillo said Pick-A-Prof's program had great success in test runs during fall 2005.

Dr. Gary Wilcox, professor of advertising at the University of Texas, experimented with CourseCasting in his introduction to advertising class last fall. Wilcox said about half the class downloaded the lectures early in the semester, and then that number decreased to about 35 or 40 percent of the class toward the end of the semester.
